Disease dynamics are simulated using a susceptible-exposed-injector-removed infection modeling approach, with the contact rate due to airborne transmission incorporated through coupling with the Wells-Riley model.

Using epidemiologic data and computer modeling, researchers in Hong Kong concluded that airborne transmission was responsible for the spread of SARS-CoV during the large community outbreak in the Amoy Gardens housing complex last March.

T156A abrogates a TV-glycosylation site and, when together with S223N (not found in A/Alberta/01/2014), may improve virus replication in the upper respiratory tract of ferrets (9); T156A is consistently found in ferret-adapted mutants capable of airborne transmission (5).

Although fewer than 15% of hospital- acquired infections are directly attributable to airborne transmission, more than one-third may be caused by surface microbes aerosolized by the movement of air from building systems, people, and equipment.
